About

Meili (Mandy) Liu is a Post-doctoral Associate in the Civil & Architectural Engineering Department at University of Miami. Her research focuses on computational methods, especially the use of reactive molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations, Monte Carlo (MC) simulations, and machine learning (ML)to guide the development of novel infrastructure materials. Currently, Dr. Liu is focused on two specific reserch thrusts: 1）Modification of biochar; 2) Asphalt aging.

Dr. Liu earned a joint Ph.D. in Chemistry, specializing in Physical Chemistry, from the University of California, Berkeley (UCB), and Beijing Normal University in December 2021. Since then, she has been a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Miami.

Welcome Collaboration with Experimental Research Groups

As a computational chemist, I am open to establishing diverse forms of collaboration with experimental research teams. If your group has experimental challenges that could benefit from computational modeling or simulation, I would be delighted to explore how we can work together.

Whether you are seeking insights into molecular dynamics, quantum mechanical calculations, or multi-scale modeling, I am eager to support your research with computational tools to complement your experimental work.

Please feel free to reach out mxl2120@miami.edu if you are interested in discussing potential collaboration opportunities.
